Very interesting, definitely not junk you have a lot of nice things from the traditional archery world. I am 76 now and still shoot traditional almost everyday and did manage to take a doe this past season so you keep on shooting it helps one keep in shape not to mention lots of fun thanks for sharing and take care
Been shooting traditional for about 30 years. Nice collection of trad archery stuff you've picked up over the years. Certainly worse habits you could have. Thanks for sharing.
Been watching your channel for about a year, And I’ve watched this video a bunch of times. Just an awesome sport this Traditional bowhunting that we love, thanks for sharing your beautiful bows with us 🤙🏽
yes i enjoyed your tour ,i only hoped you wouldnt rush thru it so quickly , did enjoy seeing the cross hanging, in between, my the lord richley bless you, looking forward to more videos, thank you much.
Awesome collection. It got my heart going. So excited to see your wing collection. Wing, Ben Pearson and Shakespeare are my fave. Thank you for sharing.
Oh My Goodness! You have more bows than I did years ago. I sold off 62 or 64 of them around ten years ago. Up till then I had never sold one before. I built my first bow in 1969, still have it and still shoot it. I have shot a few deer here and there with both traditional and compound bows. I met Art Laha in Northern WI about 25 to 30 years ago and I never shot another compound bow again. I gave Art a Bear Kodiak bow about 45 lb draw and we went hunting deer. I believe that was the last hunt he went on before his death. He was a well known hunter and made an interesting film called "No Land For the Timid" which was mostly filmed in Alaska. I also gave away to people who deserved them before I started selling off bows. I'm down to about 10 to 12 bows now.
Very nice collection. God has truly blessed you. And I'm sure you are a believer in this, and that is, you can't out give God. I pray God continues to bless you and your family. Maybe one day if God sees fit, I'll get a collection of traditional bows. And 1 more thing, every time you make a video and I watch it, I smile just as much as you. You can really tell that Jesus lives within you. Thank you for being a light
I have a few bears..all pre 72 have Canada decal on lower limb...seeing limbs.,I would like to get a set of 45-55 lb limbs for my b riser...I also have a wing gull....my heavy bow was made by Dan Coffin in Montana who is a gunsmith,just made a few dozen
Not sure..my first bow is a bear cub with the nylon pins for left or right...I have a Kodiak deluxe 32 lb,a bear polar,a b riser td ,also a friend gave me a herters precision sitka. and a Ben Pierson
Holly Guacamole ! you live in a paradise, it's my dream come true, I have never hunted in my life, I have made several bows for my self, I used to draw a 65 lb compound bow, but I never had the recourse to go hunting. I got an open heart 3 bypass surgery 18 months ago, Now I can only use a 35lb recurve that I made. I am XX Years Old, You will not donate me one of your bows (beautiful bows), I won't promise you I will hunt with it, ha ha ha I get exhausted by walking 100 yards!
Wow, I mean wow! Dont know what else to say. I have just picked up my first recurve bow in years, since childhood. After a major surgery I can no longer shoot my compound. I have found a new love for archery. Just stumbled upon your channel for the first time with this video and I subscribed. Your (non ) collection is awesome. If you have a particular bow that you mite need help getting into the woods to do some hunting I can help you out, our deer season is coming to a close, but the hog hunting is going nonstop. Best of wishes to you and thanks for the look.😮
Thank you! You’re right, a lot of people think that if you have a shoulder issue, you can no longer shoot a bow! But that is not true with a recurve or longbow. Just start out with a lighter draw wt that the shoulder muscles can handle. The break over point on the compound bow is what hurts the shoulder. Stay in touch! I love to hog hunt too!
What an amazing collection of bows! Love that you have the one from your childhood that your mom bought you👍‼️ That inspired me to build y’all a string for that one as well as I made a special string for Sherry as well ! It’ll be in the mail Tuesday,hope y’all enjoy the new strings!! Wow you made your own bows and arrows too, very impressive maybe y’all can teach me how to make a bow and some arrow building of wood arrows one day?🤔 Thank y’all some much for sharing your life experiences with us!! That’s so kind and inspiring to share with us 😍🥰‼️❣️🤩 God Bless y’all 🙏😇
Wow !! That is an amazing collection of traditional bows ! You say you're not a collector well good thing , who knows how many more you would have lol😀. thanks for showing us all your collection it is truly incredible , take care and happy hunting /shooting !
Thats a amazing collection for not being a collector. I just started with traditional archery this year I have been hunting with a compound for 5 years but its time for some traditional I’m excited
Well the Lord has certainly blessed you with a lot of cool archery stuff! And like myself, your not old, just a babe in Christ with eternity ahead of us ...
@@RobertEatonOutdoorsMy buddy's and I are trad bow turkey hunting this spring . Gonna try to video my hunts. Hopefully we get some birds and lots of laughs.
Some nice useful bows. Guy gets imto traditional archery and he begins to collect without meaning to. Myself, ive picked up a Howard Hill, a Ben Pearson, an Ozark, a Bear Montana, and ive tried to keep from picking up too many bows. Give you a nickel for one of those black widows though.
You're so right! It's hard to pass up a bow when you see them at a pawn shop or garage sale even when you already have one or don't need it! Thank you Larry for commenting!
@@RobertEatonOutdoors it's a complement. Your way of speaking and polite deference to others shows. Reminds me of some of the fine folks I have known. To friends they are kind and open handed to a fault. For your replies wado sir.
Oh man you skipped right past that herters sambar, probably one of your coolest bows 😢 wish I could find one of those wing thunderbirds in that condition, been searching for awhile ! Great "collection" ? 😂
That’s so cool that you noticed that Herter’s Sambar! I thought about that too after I forgot to say something about that bow. There was a Ryan Gill Self Bow in the mix that I forgot to mention. It was behind the Prairie Longbow.
I just finished watching your video and your Traditional collection is amazing and very interesting. I'm a lefty and I have a older hoyt game master ll recurve that I would like to update the limbs on. I shoot 45 lb limbs since I am in my late 50s.I would be interested to see if you might have limbs to fit that old recurve? A 62 in recurve works best for me. Have a blessed day. I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the sub! All of my takedowns are right handed. Have you checked on eBay, Big Jim’s, or Rocky Mt Specialty Gear? They have a lot of lefty bows and limbs. Stay in touch!❤️
Seriously, I guess I am an amateur collector. But no wallhangers. Everything I get, from broadheads to bows, has to be hunt ready. But you sir, weather you know it or not, are a REAL collector.
@@norrisfounteno I have had several others say the same thing, but most of my bows don’t have the value that real collectors are looking for.

It’s strange because I could probably find the same bow cheaper off of eBay??? Thank you for watching and commenting and good luck this coming hunting season! God bless you!
How long have you been involved in archery? Takes years to get a collection like that amassed, i know ive been shooting recurves since the 1970's . ScottinPa.
I started when I was 13 when my mom bought me a Bear Black Bear recurve bow. I just turned 61 y/o so been a long time. In the 1970’s just like you. Thank you Scott for commenting! Stay in touch!
@@RobertEatonOutdoors that is a TUFF ONE for me im not sure🙂 i buy them try them and sale them off and on so i can buy try another..ha...trying to find my 1 favorite bow...i like my vintage fred bear bows the best but if a new one im thinking a Damon Howatt conviction...i was going to get 1 but year waite and for me 800 lot of coin so i backed out seen the howatt mamba and i bought it for 186 dollars... its awful close to a new black mamba but 700 less,,haha my vintage fred bear bows
Your getting old.... I am already there. I had one of those old G Freds quivers. The main support bar kept breaking SO i replaced it a piece of brass square stock.
Woow that's a beutiffull colecction if you have a #40 bear bow that you don't want anymoore I will take care of it. I don't hunt just like to shot them on my back yard
It may look like a collection of bows, but real collectors have much more value in their bows. I just picked up a couple of bows here and there over the years and then one day I had quite a few. It won't take long! Thank you for commenting!
I thought I was the only man that hoarded archery gear and I’m glad I found your channel sir God bless
😂🤣 There’s something about the beauty of a recurve or longbow that we just have to have it! Thank you for watching!
I know you said you are not a collector but that is the most impressive collection I have ever seen. Some real beautiful pieces.
Thank you! It’s hard to pass up a recurve bow or longbow when I see one for sale at a flea market or pawn shop. Thank you for commenting!
“I’m not a collector”😂. Lots of beautiful history.
I may have a collection of bows, but real collectors have a collection of valuable bows. A $5 bow is valuable to me! Thank you for commenting!
Omg!!!
You schould do a Museum!!!
Thats a live of archery!
Thank you! I will do another more detailed video in the future!
@@RobertEatonOutdoors can't wait to see!!!
I’m 73 and really appreciate what you do. I still hunt with the green bear razor heads. They get the job done for me!
Thank you Richard! Yes, those Bear Razorheads are still bringing down the big game and seem to be easier to sharpen for me than most heads.
Incredible collection!! 🏹🏹
Thank you!!
That’s a wonderful collection!
Thank you!!
All Great Looking Bows !
Money Well Spent !
You must Hunt with most of the bows with the arrow holder on them .
Yes sir, after having a couple arrows fall off the shelf, I put one on every bow that I plan to hunt with.
